Hi,
An FYI for all who have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.
I was misdiagnosed with Fibromyalgia for 15 years. By the time a Natuopath found out what I really had, Hypothyroidism, my adrenals were those of a 80 year old woman and I was a mess.
My paticular type was Wilson's Syndrome Hypothyroidism (not Wilson's Disease). It is one that does not show up on blood tests. It is a condition that results from a problem in the conversion of T4 to T3. This causes symptoms of decreased thyroid function but usuall normal blood test results. Synthroid is usually not a good choice, Armour Thyroid is better.

Great post. Can you share some of the similarity in the symptoms as well as some of the differences? I think many women would find that info helpful.
